“Lîla Dance is one of the most open, generous, funny, and hyper-smart companies I’ve worked with. Since the outset, it has been a thoroughly rewarding creative relationship which has felt to be an important part of a really vibrant discourse about the role of writers in contemporary dance practice.”
